Problem with Open Office

[Roy Grainger]

Using Apple Mac - Open Office- I can produce and save a document, when I go 
back into it I only get a snapshot and am unable to access/enlarge and work on 
it. I can copy documents via a memory stick onto a Laptop (not an Apple) where 
I can then work on it.
Have tried deleting and reinstalling Open Office but get the same results. 
This has recently occurred and effects all of my documents.
Any help will be gratefully received.

Apache OpenOffice is a project of the Apache Software Foundation.  You
can find there contact info, including physical mail address, here:

http://apache.org/foundation/contact.html

Or, if you are just looking to contact the Project Management
Committee of the OpenOffice project you can send an email to
priv...@openoffice.apache.org.

Or, if this does involve bank transfers, you can contact fundrais...@apache.org.

I believe the contact_us page gives d...@openoffice.apache.org for
admin questions.

-Rob

Apache signature good but no public key

[Shawn Pringle]

In attempting to verify 
/Apache_OpenOffice_4.0.1_Linux_x86_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz with the KEYS I got 
from https://people.apache.org/keys/group/openoffice.asc, gpg reported "Can't 
check signature: public key not found".  Here is the complete and exact output 
from gpg:


gpg: armor header: Version: GnuPG v1.4.13 (Cygwin)
gpg: assuming signed data in 
`Apache_OpenOffice_4.0.1_Linux_x86_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz'
gpg: Signature made Fri 20 Sep 2013 05:51:52 PM ART using RSA key ID 3E3CB8C9

When you reply to the list, please reply also to this email address.

It verifies for me, a good signature from Herbert Duerr.

Can you share the command line you used to invoke gpg?  And I assume
you imported the openoffice.asc keys first?

Roy,

It sounds like you have inadvertently changed your document's zoom
setting. Open your document, look in the bottom right hand corner of the
document window and you will see an area with a percentage (maybe 20%)
value. Right click in that area and from the context (pop-up) menu that
appears select a different (maybe 100% or Page Width) option. Now save
your document and when you open it again it should have the same zoom
setting.

Hope this helps.

Dave

Re: Problem with Open Office

[Roy Grainger]

Dave
 Thank you for your very quick response, I have been toying with the problem 
over the last few hours, I noted that one document had locked after the title 
which I changed, shortly after I had to restart the computer as it would not 
open any files, low and behold the documents are now O.K. even a problem I had 
with the time it was taking to go into Open Office seems to have resolved 
itself. 
The problem I had was with all my documents but this has also resolved itself 
and they are all behaving.
Many thanks for your suggestion I will log this in case I get a similar 
situation
Kind regards
Roy

Calc and filter

[Laurens Thissen]

When I apply a filter in a Calc file, is it possible to see how many records 
are filtered? I am unable to find an easy way to do this in Calc. In Excel this 
is instantly readable in the status bar (e.g. 7 out of 36 records found).

Thanks for your time,

Laurens

Towards the right of the Status Bar (at the bottom of the window), 
you will see a field that is described as "Cell or object 
information".  This may show Sum or Average by default, but if you 
right-click it you can select Count instead.  Observing this both 
before and after the filtering process may provide what you need.


I trust this helps.

autocorrect import

[Robert Kingett]

I was just wondering if there's a simple way I can import my autocorrect 
entries from Microsoft word into open office, as I have cerebral palsy 
and I use autocorrect as an adaptive tool and I don’t want to enter all 
of the entries again.

4.1 beta feedback

[Larry Sadler]

Salutations

So far, I am happy with the beta . I do have an issue with graphing in 
Calc .


Via significant experimentation, I have established the following with 
respect to charting a desired independent variable series:


 * the default is linear numerical from 1
 * to replace the default independent variable, you must format chart
   using the category dialogue
 * this process is NOT obvious
 * my expectation was that the first data series would default to the
   independent variable and be displayed as the X axis
 * the import would differentiate between numerical and text entries

all your autocorrect entries are contained in the files acor_.dat, acor_en-GB.dat, 
acor_zx-HK.dat etc, the path to which is listed under tools -> options -> 
openoffice.org -> paths. those files are indeed zip archives, so you can change their 
extension to .zip and browse their contents. in such an archive, find the file 
DocumentList.xml and open it as a text file. you will see your autocorrect entries for 
the respective language in xml format. if you have a list of all your autocorrect 
entries for ms word, you may add them all simultaneously using find-and-replace 
facilities of openoffice writer or ms notepad.

as for obtaining the mentioned list of ms word's autocorrect entries, see word's 
options -> paths to know where word stores them. unfortunately, i don't have 
word at hand now and thus can't give further advice. i can check word's storage 
style tomorrow at work and write back with more details.

i can't say for the beta, but 3.4.1 allows me to tick the 'first column as 
label' checkbox on the 2nd screen of the chart wizard.

Re: Calc and filter

[Laurens Thissen]

Thanks Brian,
It helps, i.e. it’s a workaround, not ideal. In order for Count to work for my 
purposes, I have to manually select a filtered, randomly selected column of 
cells, but these cells need to be formatted as Numbers. All this is not so bad 
with small database files, but is quite cumbersome in the case of bigger ones. 
I hope I am overlooking something, but atm this is one of the strong points of 
Excel which I’d love to see developed for Calc as well.
Thanks again, Laurens

"Reopen" pop up won't go away

[Elba]

How can I get this annoying pop up to go away? I cannot edit my existing 
documents and OO is useless. Is there a solution to this? 
I have tried uninstalling and installing and nothing helps.
Please respond ASAP.

Provide a bit more information about your system.  There is a solution 
but I suspect it was for the Mac system so I didn't keep it.

You need to delete the folder "org.openoffice.script.savedState". It is
in the "Saved Application State" folder in your User/Library.

See this post on the user forum for detailed instructions:
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=55755#p244931

Known bug listed in the release notes, with solution for the problem.
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.0.1+Release+Notes#AOO4.0.1ReleaseNotes-KnownIssues

The issue has been resolved in the next version 4.1 due to be released
very soon.

You can count values more generally using CountA - which is also in 
the same place - instead of Count.
